Urban Transformation in 13 Steps

For the successful completion of the transformation process of your dilapidated, earthquake-vulnerable, and non-modern homes into livable, earthquake-resistant, high-quality living spaces with social amenities, parking, and green areas, it is crucial that the contractor company fulfills the urban transformation process in 13 steps under the urban transformation law.

One of the important criteria to consider when choosing a contractor company is whether the company will handle these 13 steps on your behalf.

EKŞİOĞLU İNŞAAT, upon obtaining the necessary power of attorney, consent form, and the signing of the construction contract in exchange for land share, will handle all 13 steps of the urban transformation on your behalf, including all municipal and land registry procedures.

STEP 1:

The static and architectural projects of your building are obtained from the archives by applying to the Municipal Planning Directorate or the Land Registry Directorate. Following this step, project proposal studies specific to the buildings are carried out and presented to the property owners.

STEP 2:

A meeting will be held with the apartment owners, following an official call by the building management 15 days in advance. Following this meeting, a decision on urban transformation will be made, and a contract will be signed with EKŞİOĞLU İNŞAAT.

To obtain the building's earthquake risk report, the necessary procedures will be initiated with the existing project plans, title deed, a document showing the list of independent units obtained from the Land Registry Office, and a photocopy of the identity card. If there is no apartment title deed or condominium title deed, the "Shared Land Title Deed for the Apartment" will serve the same purpose.

STEP 3:

An agreement will be made with licensed organizations to conduct the necessary inspections for the risk assessment of the building, and an earthquake risk report will be prepared for your building.

STEP 4:

The earthquake risk report for your building will be submitted to the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, to which your building is affiliated, within seven days at the latest, along with a cover letter.

STEP 5:

The earthquake risk report for your building will be reviewed by the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate, and if no deficiencies are found, it will be approved. Approved reports are notified in writing to the relevant Land Registry Office. The relevant Land Registry Office then adds a "risky building" annotation to the land register regarding the building in question. This annotation is for informational purposes only; buying and selling can continue.

STEP 6:

The relevant Land Registry Office sends an official letter to all apartment owners within 60 days of the notification date regarding the demolition of the building.

STEP 7:

Within 15 days of the official letter being served to the apartment owners, you have the right to appeal the report prepared by the relevant Provincial Directorate under the Ministry. A technical committee inspection is carried out in this step.

STEP 8:

If the building is found to be risky, after the official letter is served to the apartment owners, a Building Joint Decision Protocol is prepared and signed by at least 2/3 majority of the apartment owners. This protocol requires a decision on how, when, in what manner, to whom, and with what distribution the building in question will be constructed.

STEP 9:

The Building Joint Decision Protocol for your building is submitted to the relevant Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization with a petition for informational purposes. If an agreement is not reached and the risky building is not demolished within 60 days, a notification is issued stating that the building will be demolished by administrative authorities, and an additional period of no less than 30 days is given. If the risky building is not demolished even after this period, the demolition process is carried out or commissioned by the local authorities with the participation of the provincial governors. The land shares of the owners who do not participate in the agreement are sold at auction based on the market value determined by the Ministry, or registered to the treasury.

STEP 10:

The building demolition takes place at the end of the given periods.

STEP 11:

Upon completion of all stages, construction permit projects are prepared, a building permit is obtained, and the reconstruction of the building begins.

Once construction of the new building begins, every stage of the construction is inspected by building inspection firms and, if you are using an urban transformation loan, by bank experts.

STEP 12:

Applications for loan assistance must be made to banks that have an agreement with the Ministry, and for rental assistance, applications must be made to the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate. Rental assistance is paid for 18 months.

STEP 13:

Once the new building project is completed, occupancy permits are obtained from the relevant Municipality. An occupancy permit signifies that the building construction is progressing according to the project, is complete, and is earthquake-resistant, after which the title deed transfers are carried out.
